Fernando Torres scored his 100th goal for Atlético Madrid as they came from a goal down to beat Eibar 3-1 at home and go level with Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
Two headed goals from corners by central defenders José María Giménez and Saúl in seven minutes put Atlético on track after Keko had put Eibar ahead in the 46th.
Diego Simeone will be glad his team ended a run of four matches without a win in La Liga and Copa del Rey while the substitute Torres, who scored in added time, had been waiting since the win at Eibar in September to reach his Atlético century.
Atlético are unlikely to stay equal top on 51 points beyond Sunday when rampant Barcelona, who have the superior goal difference and two matches in hand, visit the bottom team, Levante.
Real Madrid, away to Granada on Sunday, are third, four points back.
